Our First Family Photos

Yesterday we took Andrew for his first professional portraits! It was rushed and frantic and he felt this tension and eventually said enough is enough people! No big smiles like he does at home when Daddy is talking to him and squeezing his cheeks, but we still got some adorable shots. Here are some of my favorites..

Mommy and me


Andrew really needs to get some more photos with mom and dad. Here's one with me for now. He is 9 weeks old and growing into a little man already!

Simple pleasures



Andrew has us in awe everyday and even when we're frustrated and tired and don't know what to do, we always get back to the place where we say, "wow, he's such a wonderful little boy--what would we do without him?" I feel like everyday I'm learning something new about him, about me and about our family. Having a child really gives you a different perspective on life.

Today, it's been 2 months since our little Andrew Thomas arrived in our world. What a blessing! I can't say it enough. I anticipate bigger smiles (yes, he's smiling at us now!) more cooing, screeching and crying (yes, crying!) because it means he's learning how to communicate with us on a different level every day.

Tonight, he's even sleeping in his big boy crib--so far! Hopefully he will easily transition from the play yard in our room. He might, but I don't know if we will. It won't be as easy to check on him at night and make sure he's breathing! Ahhh...sleep. I love when he sleeps 5 hours straight like last night.

"Now we lay him down to sleep
We pray the Lord his soul to keep
Guard him Jesus, through the night
And wake him with the morning light.
Amen"
